_19th December, 1866._--I got a fine male kudu.

We have no grain, and live on meat alone, but I am better off than the men, inasmuch as I get a little goat's-milk besides.

The kudu stood five feet six inches high; horns, three feet on the straight.
_20th December, 1866._--Reached Casembe,[40] a miserable hamlet of a few huts.

After a short march we came to the Nyamazi, another considerable rivulet coming from the north to fall into the Loangwa.

It has the same character, of steep alluvial banks, as Pamazi, and about the same width, but much shallower; loin deep, though somewhat swollen; from fifty to sixty yards wide.
